The latest version of Pix's Ultima Patcher, now maintained by Fenyx4, adds support for the "Ultimore" expansions for "Ultima 3".

Fenyx4 has been the maintainer of Pix’s Ultima Patcher — far and away the best way to patch the Ultima games on Windows-based systems — for some time now, and hosts the code on his GitHub page. Early last month, he released a small update to the utility, the change notes for which are as follows: Remove the file that was getting a false positive on virus scanners by @Fenyx4 in #28 U9 language…

More "#Ultimore"? It turns out that a few other fan-made expansion scenarios for "#Ultima 3" have also been found.

There was one other bit of news from Daemon Master that I missed reporting on earlier this year, concerning the other Ultimore scenarios that Joel Fenton released. (These were, if you weren’t previously aware of them, a series of fan-made add-on scenarios for the Apple ][ version of Ultima 3, which were implemented in such a way as to be playable alongside the base game.) Well, it turns out that…

Check Out Daemon Master's #Windows Port of Joel Fenton's Unofficial #Ultima 3 Expansion, "#Ultimore: Egypt"

The Ultimore scenarios were a series of unofficial expansions for the Apple ][ version of Ultima 3, produced by Joel Fenton in the mid-1980s. Fenton carefully reverse-engineered the game data for Ultima 3 and released these scenarios as alternative “Side 2” diskettes, which allowed them to be played as part of Ultima 3. For those that no longer have an Apple ][ available to play games on – it…

Pix's #Ultima Patcher Changes Hands, Gets Updated

Origin Systems historian Pix hasn’t updated his venerable Ultima Patcher in almost two years. This doesn’t mean it isn’t a great utility; it is the recommended way to install any patches and updates for Windows installations of the Ultima games (yes, all of them). As of this year, however, Fenyx4 — whose handle you’ll hopefully recognize as one of the key architects of the Codex of Ultima Wisdom…

The Ultimore scenarios were a series of unofficial expansions for the Apple ][ version of Ultima 3, produced by Joel Fenton in the mid-1980s. Fenton carefully reverse-engineered the game data for Ultima 3 and released these scenarios as alternative “Side 2” diskettes, which allowed them to be played as part of Ultima 3. Of course, it has been nearly forty years since then; for those that no…

A #Christmas Gift for #Ultima Fans...the "#Ultimore: Egypt" Disk Image

The Ultimore series was a set of expansions for Ultima 3, which were created by Joel Fenton in 1984 and 1985. Fenton reverse-engineered the Ultima 3’s file formats and, using this knowledge, produced the Ultimore add-ons as alternate “Side 2” game diskettes which included new towns and quests. This was achieved without modifying the original game data, so the Ultimore games could be played…
